Track Table chnages

Former Member — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:19:52 GMT

Hello ,

I would like to know that is there any way to get SAP database( table entries) changes.

By using Change documents (CDHDR , CDPOS) we can only get new and old values of any record.

But I need to entire record. Is there any settings need to perform to save all changes.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jagadeshwar

Enable the table logging option in the technical settings of the table, which will track all the changes of a record.

Details of those changes can be seen in the transaction SCU3.

P.S: If that table is frequently updated , there will be performance issues.

You have an input field where u can give the table / view name , date time and the type of display.

Fill in all the required details and execute you'll get the detials.

if u use older versions you may have radio buttons to choose , where u can choose 'List change docs' for the above options.

Thanks for your help.

I have given the all information and execute it and I could't see any change documents even i have maintained data in the table.

I doubt about the settings . Do we need to do any setting apart from Checking the LAST CHNAGES at Technical settings in table.

When i exicute the Transction SCU3 . I got the message that 'Table logging is not currently active in your system . Do you want to analyse the logs anyway'. Am I getting the problem due to this message .

I don't have much time to search..

Please guide me .

Thanks in advance.

I am also getting the message 'No authorization group containing the following tables'

Guide me plz..

Make sure that u've checked the 'Log data changes' option in the technical settings of the table and activated it. Then on every chang will be logged and u can see the changes.

Hi Jag,

If you get a message saying table logging is not currently active in the system you'll need to set profile parameter 'rec/client' in transaction RZ11.

To switch on logging, the R/3 System must be started with a profile containing parameter rec/client.

This parameter defines whether all clients or only selected clients should be logged.

The parameter can have the following values:

rec/client = ALL (Log all clients.)

rec/client = xxx (Log the specified clients.)

rec/client = OFF (Do not log. )

Log the specified clients is the recommended setting and the system will need to be restarted for the changes take effect.

For more information, see the SAP help page here:
